       wwnneettssccaann will find any wireless adaptor installed and use  it  to  find
       all  wireless  access points in range. It will then use the information
       from this scan to set up the wireless adaptor and its network  configu-
       ration file to connect to one of these networks.

       Normally wwnneettssccaann will attempt to connect the network it finds with the
       strongest signal since this is generally the closest and the  one  most
       likely to be the one desired.
